High atop a crumbling structure, Ling Yao and Lan Fan loomed over the battlefield. Below, General Bradley rose, his twin blades gleaming with menace after dispatching Gluttony. The air grew heavy, thick with the scent of ozone and blood. Ling smirked, his squinted eyes betraying a sharp, predatory gleam as he toyed with his wrapped Dao. "Don't think you've won," he taunted, his voice cutting through the silence. Suddenly, Bradley moved—a blur of motion launching upward toward Lan Fan. Time seemed to freeze. Ling’s eyes widened in genuine shock, his hand reaching out to shout a warning that never left his lips. Just as the steel was about to strike, an unseen force intervened, altering the course of fate.
